“We work with many excellent suppliers but few people are as dependable, humble and capable as Steven Berman,” said Bo Fisher, chairman of Federated Auto Parts. “We deeply respect how, under Steven’s leadership, Dorman has treated its customers as true partners over the past four decades. He is an innovative family businessman surrounded by highly capable people. Their rapid growth is due to their business acumen, customer relationships and new products.”

In 1978, Berman co-founded Dorman, along with his late brother Richard. Prior to assuming his current role as executive chairman, Berman served as chairman and CEO since January 2011 and president from 2007 to 2011. A member of the board of directors since Dorman’s inception, Berman also spent time as executive vice president and served as secretary and treasurer of the company.
